Saint Body and Hegemon Body
"I've heard people say all along that there's a Overlord ahead who'll kill you. If they saw the two of you sitting together drinking like this, they'd probably turn pale!" Dragon Horse, who was also drunk, looked at Ye Fan and laughed.
"What exactly are the Hegemon Body and the Saint Body?" Ye Fan asked.
"What else could it be? It's nothing more than a matter of proving one's Dao." Zhou Tong casually told Ye Fan some information he knew.
Countless ages ago, a supreme being emerged from the Hegemon Body Clan, who killed several Quasi-Emperor in the universe and was hailed as invincible under the stars. He was about to attain enlightenment, but was killed by a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body...
Like the Holy Body, the Hegemon Body Saint Body is a race that is almost impossible to attain enlightenment. However, when the Hegemon Body Lineage finally produced a Supreme Being who might break the eternal laws, he was killed by the Saint Body. That's how the enmity was formed.
It was precisely because of this grudge that the Hegemon Body Lineage launched an endless campaign of revenge against the Sacred Body Lineage; and the Sacred Body Lineage, of course, could not passively take the beating, and would definitely fight back.
The two sides fought like this for countless years.
Of course, because the Sacred Body Lineage had the Hegemon Body Lineage as its nemesis, it also actively quelled rebellions and provoked Forbidden Zone, which led to the decline and near-total destruction of the Sacred Body Lineage.
"It can even kill Hegemon Body that is about to attain enlightenment. Does that mean that Saint Body might have successfully attained enlightenment? Are there Saint Body that have attained enlightenment in history?" Dragon Horse was somewhat surprised.
"How could that be? In a fair battle between the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body throughout history, the loser would definitely die, but the winner would definitely have suffered a Pyrrhic victory, without any great Fortune or the ability to defy the heavens." Zhou Tong shook his head.
In fact, most of the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body who survived from the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star bullied the elderly Saint Body whose blood and qi were declining. Only one of them won a fair battle against Saint Body and survived.
"Actually, the feud between the Saint Body and the Hegemon Body is meaningless. If it's a fight for the sole imperial throne, then it's fine; but a deliberate fight is meaningless." Zhou Tong shook his head.
Then, he looked at Ye Fan and said, "I intend to settle the feud between the Hegemon Body and the Sacred Body Lineage in our generation. Even if we fight in the future, it will be a struggle for the Great Dao, not a blood feud. Ye Fan, as the only Saint Body in this world, what do you think?"
"Is it just a struggle over the Great Dao? I have no problem with that, but surely you're not the only one in your Hegemon Body Lineage? Can you be the master of the entire Hegemon Body Lineage?" Ye Fan pondered for a moment before asking.
He had heard many rumors about this ancient road and knew that the Hegemon Body Lineage had monopolized a Life Planet and had always been extremely prosperous. Every tens of thousands of years, an Hegemon Body would come to the Ancient Starry Road.
"It's alright, I'll make them shut up!"
Zhou Tong was decisive. He had wanted to change the philosophy of the Hegemon Body Lineage since the beginning of his cultivation. Especially after being tricked by the dead Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body Hegemon Body at the Fiftyth Level of the Human Ancient Road, his desire for change became even stronger.
The Hegemon Body Lineage also follows the Battle Immortal Path, but their philosophy cannot teach true Battle Immortal; it can only produce a group of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong!
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Since that Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body, who was about to attain enlightenment, died at the hands of the Saint Body, it means that he had not actually reached the qualification to attain enlightenment.
If future generations of Hegemon Body truly wish to take revenge on that deceased Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, they should strive to cultivate diligently, relentlessly improve themselves, and endeavor to surpass that Saint Body, break free from the shackles of bloodline, and successfully attain enlightenment. At that time, they will naturally be able to swagger and show off in front of the Sacred Body Lineage.
What's the point of holding grudges after death and dragging down future generations like this?
The invincible Hegemon Body is not built on bullying the declining Sacred Body Lineage, nor on harboring hatred for the descendants of enemies, but is forged in real battles, fought in blood and fire!
Only those who emerge victorious from countless battles are truly invincible, not those who bully the weak or boast with empty words.
"However, Zhou Tong, your cultivation speed is too fast!!" Ye Fan looked Zhou Tong up and down, and was very shocked by his cultivation speed.
Logically speaking, cultivation should slow down as you progress, so why does it seem like his cultivation speed hasn't decreased much even after becoming a saint? He's only Dao Severing for a few years, and he's almost Great Sage!
"Ye Fan, have you ever tried comprehending the Dao in Divine Prohibition State?" Zhou Tong asked with a light laugh.
"Enlightenment in the Divine Prohibition State is indeed much faster than usual. A moment of divine restriction may be enough to comprehend the Dao Fruit that is difficult to reach in several months under normal circumstances." Ye Fan obviously had enough insights. He had tried enlightenment in the Divine Prohibition State and the effect was amazing.
"Divine Forbidden Zones are rare and hard to come by. Even if you occasionally manage to enter one, the effect shouldn't be significant!" Ye Fan then looked at Zhou Tong, puzzled.
According to Ye Fan's own pattern, he can usually only enter the Divine Prohibition State once every two months; even if Zhou Tong can enter the divine forbidden state once or twice a month, he shouldn't be cultivating so fast.
"What if I could enter the Divine Forbidden Zone four or five times a day?" Zhou Tong's casual words instantly shocked Ye Fan, making him almost doubt the world for a moment.
"Four or five times a day? How is that possible? How did you manage to do that?" Before Ye Fan could speak, Dragon Horse beside him was shocked.
He himself has become a saint, but he hasn't even reached the Divine Prohibition State yet. The difference is just too great!
"I didn't Dao Severing, so I've achieved this!" Zhou Tong simply replied with this one sentence.
There's no need to hide these things from them anymore.
As longtime friends, they already know a lot about me, and you can roughly guess some of the things about me.
"No Dao Severing? But... no, you... I understand!!" Ye Fan was initially confused, but quickly understood Zhou Tong's Dao Severing Method.
He didn't actually Dao Severing; instead, he relied on his own understanding of the Great Dao to allow his cultivation to overflow naturally, forcibly breaking through the barrier of Dao Severing!
Unlike his own Reverse-Slaying the Great Dao and the self-inflicted slash of an ordinary cultivator, he didn't even lift his sword!
What kind of profound understanding and enlightenment must he have possessed to achieve this?
Ye Fan was deeply shocked.
The entire restaurant fell into complete silence for a moment.
After a long while, Ye Fan finally spoke, saying admiringly, "I admire you! I admire you! I originally thought that my Reverse-Slaying the Great Dao was already defying the heavens, but compared to you, it's nothing!!"
"Let bygones be bygones regarding the matter of Dao Severing! Ye Fan, speaking of which, you haven't yet received the true and complete inheritance of your Primordial Sacred Body, have you?" Zhou Tong said with a smile.
Just kidding, that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body from Mars is already his prisoner. Where did Ye Fan get his inheritance from?
"Complete inheritance? What do you mean?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.
Zhou Tong said leisurely, "When we went to the Sacred Cliff to retrieve the Nine Secrets: Xing, I already knew that you had obtained the single secret realm method of the Primordial Sacred Body through the green Azure Lotus in your body. However, the true single secret realm method of the Primordial Sacred Body must be measured by divine sense, and a part of the cultivation path will be interrupted after death."
"Are you saying that the inheritance I received was incomplete?" Ye Fan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"The complete inheritance of the Primordial Sacred Body should only be known by two people in this universe," Zhou Tong said softly. "One of them is the only remaining Great Accomplishment Sacred Body in the Primordial Forbidden Land."
"The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body in the Primordial Forbidden Land is not dead? Could it be that the Saint Body also activated the Darkness..." Ye Fan was shocked again, and even his voice trembled slightly.
Zhou Tong had already told him the truth about the Dark Turmoil, and now that he suddenly heard that the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was not dead, Ye Fan couldn't help but think about it.
"That Saint Body is indeed admirable. He refused to associate with those Supreme Beings who instigated the Dark Turmoil, so he created the Primordial Forbidden Land Forbidden Zone on his own," Zhou Tong.
"It's good that no Dark Turmoil was launched!" Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, clearly much more relaxed.
He genuinely did not want the Sacred Body Lineage to engage in such Dark Turmoil.
"However, the Primordial Forbidden Land is indeed dangerous. It will be quite difficult to find the complete Primordial Sacred Body Secret Technique there..." Ye Fan frowned, then looked at Zhou Tong, "So who is the second person?"
"I!"
"What? How do you know about this?" Ye Fan never expected that the inheritance of the Ancient Sacred Body lineage would fall into the hands of his nemesis, the Heavenly Tyrant Body lineage.
"It was a matter of fate!" Zhou Tong didn't want to say more.
"However, this method should be returned to its rightful owner, to the lineage of the Ancient Sacred Body!" Zhou Tong said, pointing out with one finger.
Suddenly, a beam of light flew over and entered Ye Fan's brow. A clear Dao Diagram evolved in his mind's sea, and he was immediately shocked. This was so similar to the sacred method he had used to cultivate a secret realm after obtaining the Saint Body, but it was more specific and perfect.
"It really is a complete secret technique!" Ye Fan murmured.
"After achieving sainthood, use this method to rebuild each secret realm. This is the foundation of the Primordial Sacred Body's power," Zhou Tong added. "Consider this method a symbol of reconciliation between the Hegemon Body and the Saint Body. From now on, there will be no more blood feuds, only a struggle for the Great Dao!"
"Zhou Tong, thank you!" Ye Fan opened his eyes.
"You're right. From now on, there will be no more blood feuds between the Saint Body and the Hegemon Body, only a struggle for the Great Dao!"
